work with strings/numbers and dates
Hello (again),
I am trying to define a cell value as a fabricated number derived fro today's date. For example: I'd like to set a cell's contents equal to "20040504.01", derived fro todays date (2004/05/04) and a running number 01. I'd like to start with the TODAY() function and somehow maniuplate th characters into a number and tack on a two digit number to the end as decimal. Hmmm. Thanks so much... You guys rock -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
